On the battlefield.
The Bone Demon King, the Green Ox Ancestor, and the Bandage Ghost King stood still, none of them making the first move.
They watched helplessly as a Taboo King, an ancient monster who had lived for countless Epoch, vanished.
But they still didn't retreat.
" Green Ox," the Bone Demon King spoke first, his voice extremely low, "What did you say?"
The Green Ox Ancestor flicked his sleeves and put on a serious expression.
It stared at Xiao Yan for several breaths before sighing, "What can I say? They've already made their stance clear: anyone who tries to stop them will die. This old man isn't ready to live any longer."
"So you'll just admit defeat?" The Bone Demon King raised an eyebrow menacingly.
"Admit defeat?" Green Ox Ancestor scoffed, flicked his sleeves, and auspicious blue clouds surged around him, his Yao Qi soaring into the sky.
" Bone Old Devil, when have you ever seen me, your ancestor, admit defeat?"
"Being unable to win is one thing, admitting defeat is another. Three against one, and I'm scared into surrendering without a fight by a junior? Where will I put my old face if word gets out?"
The Bandage Ghost King remained silent; it didn't utter a single word from beginning to end.
It simply took a step forward silently, standing between the Green Ox Ancestor and the Bone Demon King, its attitude making itself perfectly clear.
The Bone Demon King grinned. "Alright, then the three of us old fogies will embarrass ourselves together."
It paused, then added, "But let me make this clear first, we're here to join in the fun, not to die."
"Nonsense." Green Ox Ancestor rolled his eyes.
The three Taboo King took a deep breath and simultaneously stepped forward.
The atmosphere has changed.
Just moments ago, they were standing far away, seemingly content to watch the show, but now that laziness has completely vanished.
The Green Ox Ancestor's azure demonic clouds condensed into a gigantic Green Ox phantom, its feet treading the void, its horns reaching the sky.
Ghostly flames surged from the eye sockets of the skull on the Bone Demon King's staff, and countless cracks appeared in the surrounding void, from which White Bone claws emerged.
The Bandage Ghost King was surrounded by swirling ghostly mist, and pale white ghostly flames rose from all directions, sealing the entire area into a cage.
All three Taboo have shown their true abilities!
Xiao Yan, carrying the Dark Iron Heavy Ruler, watched them take their stances, and his expression returned to normal. "Oh, want to practice?"
The Green Ox Ancestor was very polite. "Ancestor, I know I'm no match for you, but surrendering directly is impossible. You have to show your strength!"
Xiao Yan nodded, and the nine-colored flames exploded, spreading out a sea of fire that forcefully broke through the encirclement of the three Taboo.
"However, esteemed elders, let me make this clear."
Xiao Yan's smile faded, and he slowly raised the heavy ruler. "Then let's not waste any more words."
"My esteemed elders, I'm in a hurry."
Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Yan moved.
With one step, the sea of fire beneath his feet automatically unfolded into a blazing road, leading straight to the Green Ox Ancestor!
The Green Ox Ancestor, being a long-standing taboo Taboo in the Demon Realm who had lived for countless Epoch, was not intimidated.
With a flick of its sleeve, Yao Qi surged into the sky, and the phantom of the Green Ox roared to the heavens, its horns curving like a crescent moon, its hooves Voidshatter.
"Insolent brat! This old ancestor will see just how much your Emperor Art is worth!"
" The Green Ox Collides with Heaven!"
The illusory image of the Green Ox lowered its head, its two crescent-shaped horns aimed at Xiao Yan, and suddenly rammed into him.
The force of the impact carried all of the Green Ox Ancestor's Demon Power, causing the void to collapse layer by layer wherever it passed.
Xiao Yan swung his heavy ruler and slashed head-on at the illusory image of the Green Ox.
The moment the ruler-shaped beam collided with the ox horn, a crack appeared on the ox horn of the illusory Green Ox.
Then comes the second course.
The third course.
The Green Ox Ancestor's pupils constricted sharply. Its ultimate technique, clashed head-on with the heavy ruler of an Epoch King in the Human Realm, and it actually shattered?
The Ancestor Li Shan, his death was not in vain!
The Bone Demon King and the Bandage Ghost King had been preparing for battle for some time.
Seeing that his two helpers had made their move, the Green Ox Ancestor straightened up even more, gathered his Demon Power again, and opened his mouth to spew out a beam of green light at Xiao Yan.
The three Taboo joined forces, attacking from the top, middle, and bottom simultaneously.
Without turning his head, Xiao Yan spread his five fingers, condensed a nine-colored Fire Lotus in his palm, and pushed it behind him.
The Fire Lotus exploded, and nine Fire Dragon split up to meet the ghost fire and bone claws, extinguishing a large area on the spot.
At the same time, the heavy ruler in his right hand continued its momentum, and the second ruler slammed solidly into the chest of the Green Ox Ancestor.
"Puff!"
The Green Ox Ancestor spat out a mouthful of green blood, and his whole body flew backward like a kite with a broken string. His chest was caved in, and he didn't know how many ribs were broken.
It tumbled several times in mid-air before finally regaining its balance. Looking down at the charred mark on its chest, its face turned deathly pale.
"You... you're this foot..."
"It's just an ordinary foot." Xiao Yan had already caught up.
The Green Ox Ancestor panicked completely and roared at the Bone Demon King and the Bandage Ghost King, "Attack together! Don't let him pick them off one by one!"
The Bone Demon King and the Bandage Ghost King exchanged a glance, both seeing the same meaning in each other's eyes.
We must truly join forces!
We can't hide it anymore!
The three Taboo King attacked simultaneously, their three powerful forces—one dark, one gloomy, and one gray—intertwining on the battlefield.
Light and shadow intertwine.
Bone claws rained down, and will-o'-the-wisps filled the sky.
The Green Ox Ancestor gathered his Demon Power once more, and the Green Ox phantom became even larger and more imposing than before.
Xiao Yan, wielding a ruler, moved so fast on the battlefield that his shadow was nowhere to be seen.
A fierce wind arose, and gusts of air flew everywhere.
In just a few moves, the bone claws shattered, the ghostly flames were extinguished, and the Green Ox bled profusely!
boom!
Xiao Yan shattered the illusory image of the Green Ox with a single strike. The Green Ox Ancestor was struck as if by lightning, and was sent flying backward, likely unable to fight any longer.
The Bone Demon King and the Bandage Ghost King attacked simultaneously, flanking Xiao Yan from the left and right behind him.
The two Taboo King joined forces to unleash their strongest attack, flanking Xiao Yan from both sides!
Xiao Yan swung his heavy ruler backhand, and nine-colored flames condensed into a nine-colored Fire Lotus in his palm.
One against two, head-on clash!
boom!!!
A shockwave erupted, centered on the three individuals, and swept across the entire battlefield!
The Bone Demon King's two arms exploded on the spot, White Bone into pieces, and even his bone staff broke in two!
The Bandage Ghost King was also in bad shape; the ghostly mist dissipated, and half of his body was charred.
They were sent flying backwards, landing in a sorry state, completely unable to fight back.
Even more terrifying, Xiao Yan stood rooted to the spot, completely unmoved!
Each man, with a foot of strength, withstood the full force of two Taboo King!
And it directly and severely injured the two Taboo King!
The three Taboo King joined forces, yet they were defeated almost effortlessly by a junior at the Five-Epoch Supreme Peak!
All the spectators were stunned into complete silence.
Is this guy really the Epoch King?
Could it get any more outrageous?
